SOUND LOCATOR. APPLICATION FILED 1AN.5,1919.

UNITE@ sans@ and Stale of Pennsylvania, have inve-weil new and usefulnipioven'ients in sound-lilo- Vpatois, of which *ehe 'oilowinff is aAspeeiiea tion. i

The invention i'elaes to (ievieas loiazmg" sounds, an@` 'io that @las pstethoseopie devices adapted izo the locali/:ation oi sounds and noisesand to this end nhe invention has 'for an object-the provision a simpleiparatus designed to he readily Ca'i'ieil in a compact ferm and quicklyarranged for an plieation to various bodies oi' eieniens io transmitalulihly to the oai' oi' 'he usm'. any soumis o1' noises hat may issueihei'eiii'oin.

Although 'my device may he enigloyecl for various purposes,lparticularly adapt il. so water; mains, eonluits, and ohei ilueis o?1forms of pipe for she convey iniils as in the case of zuiinieipal#gaio-i' supplies, to the end that any leaks in a main or pipe may bereadily anil quickly iocaied and. finis save considerable time and laborin (ligging awai or unearthingY the sifiounilinp; strueture to obtainaccess to the point ol? leakage for the purpose of iepaiiing 'the same.

Having described my invention, claimi- A sound locator comprising 1ncombination with a body and a head, a circular grooved supportingelement seated in the body and engaged by a portion of the head to holdthe latter, a diaphragm seated in said supporting element and heldthereby 'in contact with the head, means attached to the body andbearing against'. the support- 'ing element to secure the same in placeand facilitate direct contact of the head and the diaphragm, andvibratory means carried by said diaphragm.

2. A. sound locator comprising in combination With a body and a head, acircular greoved supporting element seated in the body and engaged by aportion of the head to vhold the latter, a diaphragm seated in saidsupportingelement, means attached yto the body and bearing against thesupporting element to secure the same in place and facilitate directcontact of a portion of the head with a portion of the diaphragm, andvibratory means carried by said diaphragm, said means being spaced fromthe diaphragm and from said head.

3. A sound locator' comprising a body formed with an internal recess, acircular'.l

supporting element in said recess, said. ement being of a nonmetallicnature, a head having an annular edge thereof seated in said supportingelement, a diaphragm havingra circular portion adjacent its periphery indirect contact with the annular edge portion of the head, said diaphragmbeing also seated in said supporting element, and a. plate securing saidsupportingr element in said body and pressing upon said element toinsure relative rigid contact of said head with said diaphragm.

4. A sound locator comprising in combination with a body and a head, avibratory diaphragm and means supporting said head and diaphragm in saidbody and in spaced relation to the latter and holding said head anddiaphragm in contact` along the outer edge of one with the outer edge ofthe other.

5. A sound locator comprising in combination With a body and a head, avibratory diaphragm, means supporting said head and diaphragm in saidbody and in spaced relation to the' latter and holding said head anddiaphragm in contact along the outer edge of one With the outer edge ofthe other, and a vibratory element supported in said body injuxtaposition to said diaphragm.

6. In a sound localizer, the combination with a body, of a soundreceiving and conveying head and a vibratory diaphragm, said head anddiaphragm being both supported in said body in spaced relation to thelatter.

7. In a sound localizer the combination With a body, of a soundreceiving and conveying. head and a vibratory diaphragm, said head anddiaphragm being coper'atively supported in said body in spacedA relationto the latter.

8. In a sound localizer the combination with. a body, of a soundreceiving and conveying head, a vibratory diaphragm and means relativelyassociated and supporting said head and diaphragm in said body in spacedrelation to the latter.

9. In a sound localizer, theA combination with a body, of a soundreceiving and conveying head, a vibratory diaphragm, means relativelyassociating and supporting said head and diaphragm in said body inspaced 'relation to the latter, and a vibratory element carried by thediaphragm.

l0. In a sound localizer, the combination with a body, of a sundreceiving and conveying head, a vibratory diaphragm, means relativelyassociating said .head and diaphragm in said body in spaced relation tothev latter', and a vibratory clement carried by the diaphragm and'spaced therefrom and from said head.

ll. In a sound localizer the combination with a body, of a head, avibratory diaphragm and a vibratory element, said head, diaphragm andvibratory element being supported in said body in spaced relationthereto.

12. ln a sound localizer, a body, a head,

'a diaphragm, means supporting said head and diaphragm in engagingrelation in the body and in spaced relation to the latter and avibratory element interposed between the head and diaphragm and held inspaced relation to said head, said diaphragm and said body.
